(I bought a baby pillow on Taobao. Today, a person who claimed to be customer service called me and said that the card had been placed and asked me to provide the bank debit message. That's when I realized that this was a scam. However, the smart Samsara didn't expose him. Instead, he asked him the code: Which company has the best excavator skills? He couldn't match it, so he hung up. Brothers, be careful when you shop online. Remember the code, and you'll always be successful.)
In a dazzling and luxurious palace, a burly man sat at the head of the table. His eyes shone brightly, and his aura was oppressive. He wore a pure golden robe that shone with golden light.
"… Frost Ice Sect … Volcano Sect … True Sword Sect …" The muscular man in the golden robe spoke. His voice was deep, like the roar of a tiger, "This time, we've sent out ten invitations. Six will be sent to third-rate sects and four will be sent to quasi second-rate sects. Prepare yourselves and go to these sects and clans to receive them. If anyone refuses to submit …"
"Understood." Below him stood a row of people who were also wearing golden robes. The golden robes of this group of people were not as bright and resplendent. There was a circle on the back of each robe, and within the circle, there was a large silver word "Battle".
After bowing, the group of people in golden robes left the palace. Only the muscular man in the golden robe remained. He raised his head and looked out of the palace. His gaze was domineering, as if he was looking down on the world.
… …
Three days was actually a short time.
It was over after a bit of cultivation.
Three days ago, Chu Mu showed the invitations sent by the Battle King Sect to the elders. After reading it, the elders were furious. The Battle King Sect's words were too arrogant. It was as if they didn't put the True Sword Sect in their eyes at all.
Another point was that the invitations were placed on the Sect Leader's seat in the Sect Leader's Hall. The invitations were sent by the Battle King Sect to show off their strength to the True Sword Sect. They did this on purpose to make the True Sword Sect think that they were unfathomable and had extraordinary means. In reality, this was a form of provocation.
The elders didn't go into seclusion. On the third day, they all gathered in the Sect Leader's Hall to wait for the Battle King Sect's envoy.
The seven great elders that originally belonged to the True Sword Sect, as well as the newly promoted elders Yun Feng and Yun He, made a total of nine. Aside from that, there were also the four Saints that Chu Mu had enslaved.
The first one was Yang Zhen, a Sage with ordinary talent who had relied on luck to pass the Aeonic Tribulation. After a few years, his cultivation base was still at the early First Sky of the Aeonic Realm.
Over the past few years, Yang Zhen had wholeheartedly focused on cultivating his swordsmanship. He had started from the most basic swordsmanship of the True Sword Sect and gradually improved. With the guidance of the True Sword Sect's Sword Saint Elders and his perception as a Saint-level expert, he had comprehended the essence of swordsmanship and grasped Level 1 Sword Force.
A few years was a short period of time. Comprehending the essence of swordsmanship and grasping Level 1 Sword Force seemed very fast, but one couldn't forget that Yang Zhen was a Saint-level expert. Even a Saint-level expert with ordinary talent wouldn't be lacking in perception due to their primordial spirit.
Moreover, he had been cultivating in a sword cultivation sect like the True Sword Sect for a few years. Due to the influence of the environment and the guidance of the Sword Saint Elders, he could sometimes save several years of cultivation time with just one guidance. Although the effects of multiple guidance were not so obvious every time, it was still equivalent to saving him several decades of cultivation time.
Finally, it was time to cultivate the True Sword Sect's swordsmanship. The swordsmanship that Chu Mu had created had to be improved from the lowest level. Step by step, he had to deepen his comprehension and grasp of the swordsmanship. Finally, he had to comprehend the essence of the swordsmanship and grasp Level 1 Sword Force.
Not a single one of these three steps could be missing. If an ordinary Saint-level expert didn't have these conditions, they would need at least a few decades to comprehend the essence of the swordsmanship and grasp Level 1 Sword Force.
However, Yang Zhen's talent was very ordinary in the end. It would be very difficult for him to go further on the path of the sword. Perhaps he would only grasp Level 3 Sword Force in his entire life.
Other than Yang Zhen, there were the Five Star Sword Saint Merlin, the Three Star Sword Saint Wen Fei, and Long Yi. The four of them were Chu Mu's servants and didn't hold the position of Elder of the True Sword Sect. Chu Mu planned to make other arrangements.
However, the four of them were Sword Saints, so they were naturally part of the upper echelon of the True Sword Sect. Furthermore, they were extremely loyal and had the right to sit in the sect hall with the other Elders. They also enjoyed the cultivation of the Profound Yang Sword World.
The nine Elders and Yang Zhen's group made up a total of thirteen Saint-level experts. Chu Mu hadn't arrived yet.
At this moment, two golden figures charged toward the sect hall like streaks of light. They ignored everything and charged straight toward the sect hall.
Their powerful auras weren't concealed at all. They were the first to arrive, alarming the disciples of the True Sword Sect as well as the Elders in the sect hall.
"Who is it?"
"Who is so arrogant to be so unbridled in the sect?"
The disciples were shocked and began to discuss among themselves. Their gazes followed the golden streaks of light toward the sect hall.
"How dare you!" The Great Elder was enraged. He instantly released the aura of a peak Six Star Saint. Like an erupting volcano, the aura condensed and vaguely formed an invisible giant sword. It slashed toward the two streaks of light that were charging toward him.
The collision of the auras caused an earth-shattering boom that sounded like countless thunderbolts. An incomparably violent aura spread out, shocking the disciples of the True Sword Sect.
The aura released by the golden streaks of light let everyone know that they were also Six Star Saints. Furthermore, they were at the late stage of Six Star Saints. With their cooperation, they were actually able to resist the Great Elder's aura.
An astonishing battle intent gushed out from the golden streaks of light. The two auras merged into one and pierced forward like a heaven-shaking divine spear. The golden streaks of light followed closely behind the heaven-shaking divine spear. They directly charged into the sect hall and landed on the ground.
"Hahahaha, as expected of the Great Elder of the True Sword Sect. Your strength is indeed extraordinary." As soon as the golden figures landed, a man and a woman appeared. The man had a rough appearance and was laughing loudly.
"I don't think so. Your strength is only at the peak of Six Star Saint level, yet you can't stop us. We are at the late stage of Six Star Saint level. It can only be considered ordinary." The woman in the golden robe was tall and slender. Her black hair was coiled up. Her eyes were slightly long and narrow. Her cheekbones were slightly protruding and her lips were thin. At first glance, she gave off a sharp and unkind feeling. The words that she said reflected the feeling that she gave off.
"Whether it is ordinary or extraordinary, you will know once you try." The Great Elder said in a deep voice. His hair and beard fluttered without wind. His aura continued to rise. An astonishing sharpness surged from his body. It was as if it had turned into a sword, a world-shaking sword. It locked onto the man and woman in the golden robe. Immediately, their faces turned serious and they were on full alert.
"Wait, we are not here to fight," the man in the golden robe said.
Facing the Great Elder's attack, he still had some strength left. It meant that although his cultivation was a small level lower than the Great Elder's, his strength was extraordinary.
"Three days ago, you received the golden invitation of our sect. Now, offer up the treasure of our sect and become a branch of our sect," the woman in the golden robe said in a sharp voice. "Otherwise, the consequences are not something you can bear."
As soon as the woman in the golden robe said that, all the Saints of the True Sword Sect were infuriated. They were all members of the True Sword Sect, the upper echelons of the True Sword Sect. They also had a strong sense of belonging to the True Sword Sect. They were bound together for good or ill. The woman in the golden robe and her attitude were incomparably arrogant. She didn't put the True Sword Sect in her eyes at all.
Boom, boom, boom. Powerful Qi burst out from the Saints of the True Sword Sect and soared into the sky. The main hall of the True Sword Sect trembled in an instant. The two envoys of the Battle King Sect's expression changed abruptly. They gathered their strength and prepared to deal with the attack at any time.
"Then tell me, what kind of unbearable consequences are you talking about?" Said a calm voice. That voice seemed to contain some kind of magical power. Instantly, the furious Saints of the True Sword Sect retracted their Qi.
"Greetings, Sect Master." All the Saints turned around and bowed respectfully with their swords.
In the empty seat of the Sect Head, a person had appeared and was currently seated on it.
"Early First Heavenly Layer of the Aeon. You're Chu Mu, the Sect Master of the True Sword Sect." The man and woman in the golden robe turned and looked at Chu Mu. Sharp light shot out of their eyes, as if they wanted to see through Chu Mu's entire body. "It's rumored that you once killed a two-star Saint with your Nirvana cultivation base. Now that you're only a one-star Saint, you should be able to kill a three-star Saint. You can be considered a monstrous genius."
"Our sect has always welcomed monstrous geniuses. After the True Sword Sect becomes our branch, you have two choices," said the man in the golden robe. Said the man in the golden robe as if he was telling the truth, "The first choice is to continue leading the True Sword Hall and become the leader of the True Sword Hall. The second choice is to join the Battle King Sect and become a disciple. You will receive the best training and enjoy the best resources. With your talent, your future is limitless."
"Even the name has been changed." Chu Mu smiled faintly.
True Sword Sect, True Sword Hall. This Battle King Sect was really bold.
"It seems like you still don't understand how strong our sect is." The woman in the golden robe curled her lips. She said in a mocking tone, "Our sect has an extraordinary background and is extremely powerful. It's your honor to be chosen as a branch of our sect. If you don't want to, hmph, the Lin Family, Xuan Zhen Sect, Blazing Sword Sect, and other quasi second-rate forces are examples of the True Sword Sect."
"Hall Master Chu, we're not trying to scare you. We really do have the strength." The man in the golden robe smiled and said loudly, "To the Battle King Sect, no matter if it's a third-rate force, quasi second-rate force, or even a second-rate force, they're nothing. Even if it's a first-rate force, we don't fear them. As long as you join the Battle King Sect, your future is limitless."
"I wonder which expert is the Battle King Sect's Sect Master?" The opponent's big talk didn't make Chu Mu angry. Instead, he calmly asked a question.
"Wait until Hall Master Chu follows us to the Battle King Sect." The man in the golden robe smiled and said, "We all know that the True Sword Sect has some connections with the True God Sword Sect from thousands of years ago. I'm sure the True Sword Sect wants to regain the glory of the True God Sword Sect. As long as you join the Battle King Sect, it won't be long."
"Go back and tell the Battle King Sect's Sect Master that the True Sword Sect and the Battle King Sect will mind our own business." Chu Mu replied.
